Friendly Space Policy[edit]

Wikimedia Europe is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone at all venues and events such as conferences, virtual events, and related social events. This policy applies regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion and is not limited to these characteristics.

We do not tolerate any form of harassment of General Assembly participants. Harassment includes but is not limited to offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion. Harassment also includes sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, unwelcome following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Any participant violating these rules may be expelled from the event at the discretion of the organizers. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact Anna Mazgal, any member of the Board, Mehman or Natalia Ćwik immediately.

Staff will be happy to assist those experiencing harassment in any way possible to ensure they feel safe for the duration of the conference.
